[RC] [Guest] Adios - continued. - Ridecamp ModeratorDarolyn Butler-Dial" <darolyn@xxxxxxxxxx>(Last bit got cut off on last nights post to ridecamp & this is very important) (1) Implement the use of machine tested blood chemistry and electrolyte analysis during a race to see what the horses are doing. If a rider is able to see the deficiencies during a ride, they can correct it then, and will know how to correct it in future rides. (2) We need to consider the seasonal time and location of all major rides. Perhaps avoid the time of year that is a definite "season change" or consider encouraging more acclimation time for out of region horses. This is a tough one I know, but once again, when one considers the crash of all the southern horses and crashes that have happened when going North to Vermont, and Canada in past years, it just makes me wonder. It's all about making the horse feel better and perform more healthfully. Don't let these to lives go to waste. Thanks for your time reading this long document!
